Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang were both taken aback.

The two of them looked at Qin Tian simultaneously, and their arms, holding the drinks, began to tremble.

”Boss, what do you mean?”

”Boss, Master...he...couldn’t have...”

Facing their sorrowful gazes, Qin Tian closed his eyes slightly, nodding.

”Mm. Master passed away a few years ago. I personally buried him.”

Qin Tian raised his glass high and said, ”Let’s drink this glass of wine. After this war is over, I’ll take you to see the Master. His grave must be overgrown with weeds by now... Ha, that old geezer hasn’t called me ’brat’ in years...”

Saying this, Qin Tian raised his glass and drank it all in one go. His eyes moistened.

Seeing this, Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang, holding back their grief, also drank their wine.

After drinking, they happened to encounter Zhao Lanjin coming from outside to find Qin Tian, and Qin Tian promptly introduced the three of them to each other.

He said to Zhao Lanjin, ”Lanjin, Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang are brothers closer to me than anyone, but their cultivation levels might be low at the moment. If I’m not around, you must help protect them.”

After Zhao Lanjin nodded, Qin Tian then introduced Zhao Lanjin to Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang: ”Brother Two, Brother Three, this is my best brother in the City Guard Army, Zhao Lanjin. You can consider him one of us. If you need any cultivation advice, feel free to ask him.”

With that said, Qin Tian pulled Zhao Lanjin over for a drink.

At the table, upon learning that Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang’s cultivation was still at the Primordial Pill stage and hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul stage, Qin Tian became somewhat anxious.

”Your cultivations have fallen quite behind. We can only give it a try; you don’t need to worry about cultivation resources. I can completely meet all your needs. What I need to do now is to see how your cultivation potential is.”

”After all, you reached the Primordial Pill stage through your own cultivation. It shows your cultivation talent isn’t bad. The cultivation talent test we took on Earth may not be accurate. The Spiritual Domain is an unimaginable world, full of miracles happening every day. Look at me, previously I was tested to have no cultivation talent, and yet now, here I am,”

Qin Tian continued, saying to Zhao Lanjin, ”Lanjin, I have to rely on you for this. Anyway, we have some downtime now. You should do nothing else but help them in their cultivation, tapping into their potential. I owe you... Cheers!”

Qin Tian said it quite politely, which made Zhao Lanjin a bit embarrassed.

He raised his glass and said, ”Qin Tian, you know my situation. After she left, I have little attachment to this Spiritual Domain world. If it weren’t for having a confidant friend like you, I would have gone to the Imperial City to become a Death Soldier to assassinate that person; I wouldn’t be living aimlessly.”

”Now that we are brothers, I will naturally help you wholeheartedly and treat Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang as my brothers too.”

”Alright, cheers!”

The four of them raised their glasses and drank together.

Chen Feng’s fifty thousand City Guard Army has been stationed in the small town for a month, and Zhao Lanjin has been teaching Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang cultivation for half a month.

The good news is that although Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang’s cultivation talent isn’t at a genius level, it isn’t bad.

The only downside is that they started cultivating relatively late. Now, catching up depends on three conditions: diligence, cultivation resources, and fortune.

No one can control fortune, so Qin Tian advised Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang to focus on diligence.

As for cultivation resources, Qin Tian can almost provide them with an unlimited supply of Primordial Pill stage resources, providing everything they need.

Of course, even if that’s not enough, Fan Bing can also provide it.

All in all, to improve Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang’s cultivation levels, Qin Tian is willing to spare no cost.

After learning that Zhou Yang, Fan Bing, and Murong Fei had all reunited with Qin Tian, Lin Yu and Xiao Zhuang became even more determined to cultivate.

Of course, the confidence to rebuild the Dragon Soul made even Qin Tian more resolute.

...

”Hahaha, that old bastard Zhang Qicheng thinks he can mess with me? Now he knows the consequences? Serves him right!”

In the general’s tent, Chen Feng gathered Qin Tian and other subordinates. He seemed in good spirits and said, ”We’ve been out here for two months, and now we finally have results.”

”Hmph, Zhao Long’s campaign failed and he retreated to Yang City. Zhang Qicheng himself is facing an attack from the Dragon Clan’s army. Now he’s guarding Yang City, overwhelmed with his own problems, he finally thinks of us and wants us to rush back to support him in defending Yang City.”

Chen Feng, looking schadenfreude, said dismissively, ”He should have thought of this before. Now that he’s messed up, he thinks of us? Is he surrendering now? That old bastard...”

Chen Feng sat down, his eyes sweeping over the senior generals at his side, and he said, ”Let them deplete themselves. We’re not in a hurry to return to Yang City, we’ll set out in ten days. I want Zhao Long and Zhang Qicheng’s forces to suffer a significant loss!”

”General Chen, this is not advisable!”

Nobody spoke in the tent until Qin Tian suddenly stood up and said, ”General, this is absolutely not advisable!”

”What, Qin Tian, do you feel sorry for them? You need to realize, if we had attacked Sanhe City per Zhang Qicheng’s order, our troops would be in disarray right now, and they would be the ones laughing at us!”

Chen Feng glared at Qin Tian, gritting his teeth, ”You’re still too young, you don’t understand the matters of the bureaucratic warfare, sit down.”

”General, if we don’t return to reinforce Yang City right now, and if Yang City is captured by the Dragon Clan, we will be trapped east of the East State Mountain Range, becoming sitting ducks for the Dragon Clan army!”

Qin Tian spoke seriously, and when he finished, other generals realized the situation and began urging Chen Feng to retreat and support immediately.

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, ”I’ve already considered this, which is why we’re only delaying for ten days. After ten days, we’ll return, and Yang City should be fine.”

His eyes focused on Qin Tian, he said, ”No matter what, Yang City has eighty thousand garrison troops, and its terrain is easy to defend and hard to attack. The Dragon Clan has only thirty thousand troops, even with a reinforcement of ten thousand, can they capture it? I don’t believe so. And to capture it within ten days? You must be overestimating the Dragon Clan army. Elevating others and diminishing our morale is a grave mistake in warfare.”

”General, we must learn from the lesson of the East State River battlefield. At this time, the broader situation should take priority, we cannot...”

”Qin Tian! Shut up!”

Qin Tian still wanted to persuade Chen Feng but was directly shouted down by Chen Feng.

”I am fully aware of the decisions that need to be made. How old are you? I’ve been fighting wars longer than you’ve been alive! Do you think you can point fingers in front of me? Get out!”
